Our Vision
Our mission is to harness education to regenerate our personal, collective and planetary health.
We harness a deeper connection with nature to guide us through turbulent times and towards a more regenerative* society.
Our vision for society to be more regenerative* (i.e. people and planet thriving together) where people are supported to understand and develop compassion towards themselves and others, to see themselves as part of the more-than-human world, to have experiences that frequently connect them with it, and feel enlivened and hopeful about their future.
*What do we mean by regenerative?
Put simply, something is regenerative when it helps all life to thrive, people and planet, both present and future. Regeneration in education means evolving the learning and culture to rehabilitate and enhance the health of the entire ecosystem of a community, society or place.
Who We Are
We’re a network of individuals and organisations helping young people to grow up with a healthy connection to self, to community and to the Earth.
We operate across the UK, and our network is made up of education leaders, alternative educators, facilitators, youth workers, parents, young people, researchers - anyone who is invested in equipping youth for a thriving future.
Guiding Principles
Our approach is rooted in regenerative design and life’s dynamics. We create learning based on nature’s principles – collaboration, natural life cycles, reciprocity, emergence, regeneration, interconnection and healthy competition. We align ourselves around these five guiding principles.
- Celebrate Wildness - Connect with the wild - the place where all life begins and ends.
- Cultivate Relational Health - Recognise health is interconnected - mine, yours and the planet’s.
- Nurture Radical Inclusion - Anyone and everything is welcome; difference is a reason for celebration and growth.
- Be a Lifelong Learner - When we stop learning, we stop living. Every life stage has something to offer to the whole.
- Practice Creative Courage - We are all born with unique gifts and we seek to nurture these in everyone.
